The regular season runs from October 30th - December 11th. Matches will be played weekly on Tuesdays at 4pm and 6pm, for a total of 12 matches throughout the regular season.

Playoffs will take place from January 8th - January 29th. Each state will be divided into four regional conferences and compete in a single elimination bracket. The conference champions will then advance to the semi-finals, with the top two teams competing for the state title, all at a live State Championship event — exact date and location TBA.

No more than 128 teams will make the playoffs.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Each school is required to have an esports coach who is onsite for all matches.

Each League of Legends team consists of five students. Each school is able to build as many teams of five as they’d like.

Each student needs the following: one computer/laptop and one set of peripherals (mouse, keyboard, headset). Students can use their own, or schools could provide these. Jerseys are optional.

The participation fee for each student is $64/season. These can be paid by the students, parents or by the schools.
